Creative Nonfiction Week 2018

Transform real life experiences into art. Join us for an invigorating week featuring an outstanding faculty of writers and artists teaching workshops in memoir, essay, creative nonfiction, photography, painting, and printmaking, all of which relate to narrative, portraits, and identity. Evening events include a keynote address by Michael Cunningham, faculty readings and artist talks, a benefit concert with Jonatha Brooke, and student readings and open studios.

A favorite son of the Work Center, and one of today’s most widely honored writers, Michael Cunningham is the author of arguably the best narrative nonfiction account of our town: Land’s End: A Walk in Provincetown. He is also the author of the Pulitzer Prize winning novel The Hours as well as seven other books. Since coming to the Work Center as a Fellow in 1980, he’s received numerous accolades and awards including the PEN/Faulkner Award.

Keynote is free for students attending a workshop this week.Tickets for the general public will be available at the door.
